Sure, it's shameless promotion. But that's never stopped me. Besides, you're my warmest audience!! Come take a ride with me over Utica. Click on "Balloon" at: www.windsweptpress.com/essays.htm

I think I hear The 5th Dimension singing in the background.

That may have been an earlier picture. She played a few television roles, I remember, in addition to her lead singing in the Fifth Dimension. I think she was on Miami Vice. That show tried to make actors out of number of musicians, including Glen Frey (Smuggler's Blues) of The Eagles.

Ok I clicked on the link in the Google ad ad the top "PlotStory. Need A New Story? Come Play with Us" & found this at the site: "This just in, the Pi Toy Factory has just been robbed of Banshee Dolls by the "Doll Bandits" and now Pi is left with none to distribute to all the kids for Halloween!
Now it's up to the Piples to try and find some to save this years Halloween."
I know it's context sensitive advertising but what is the context for that?

Hmmm. I never mention Banshees in my balloon ride over Utica. Maybe I should have. Let's see ... as I sway in the breeze, a kamikaze squad of Banshees fly up to attack. Since they're naked, they're a welcome sight to a 13 year old boy. From Wiki: "The banshee (IPA: /ˈbænʃiː/), from the Irish bean sí ("woman of the síde" or "woman of the fairy mounds") is a female spirit in Irish mythology, usually seen as an omen of death and a messenger from the Otherworld. Her Scottish counterpart is the bean shìth (also spelled bean-shìdh)." Maybe Sally Pepper was a banshee and not a guardian angel! www.windsweptpress.com/pepper.pdf
